Dirk Koetter speaks
All offseason, on the heels of a 9-7 season, Dirk Koetter stressed that the Bucs had more talent on the roster than he’s ever experienced.
Joe hasn’t yet asked Koetter for a reassessment, but the head coach gave one on Friday. [read more]
Galled by third down defense.
You know your team has a horrid defense when on each third down, predicting a conversion by the opponent would be at worst a break-even bet. [read more]
Bullish on Bucs today.
Interesting takes from the gang at CBSSports.com on today’s game. [read more]
They dig the long ball.
When Joe has written the only chance of the Bucs beating the Stinking Panthers today is if winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter goes Air Coryell and launches the ball downfield on virtually every play, Joe is only being half-sarcastic. [read more]

Welcome to a weekly feature on JoeBucsFan.com. Joe has challenged Ira Kaufman, Tampa Bay’s only Hall of Fame voter, to pick against the spread this season for a $500 prize. Every Friday, Ira types out his picks for each Friday-through-Monday game. If he hits at 53 percent or better for the regular season, then Ira gets $500 in gift cards to Abe’s Place in Clearwater, home of historically amazing food and 44 craft beers on tap. Feel free to send Ira your stone cold locks on Twitter, @ikaufman76. The sage of Tampa Bay sports could always use some help.

Last week, before the defensive collapse in Buffalo, Bucs players and coaches all said they had a smooth and very successful week of work.

Midway point of the season and Todd has advice for you in many areas. Especially if you are sitting there staring at your record and your roster and convincing yourself that you need to make a trade. No, Todd tells you why in this podcast.
Also, many of you this week are falling into the trap of getting too cute or creative with your lineup. Don’t do that either. Todd also reviews the preseason draft boards and goes player by player to see what actually happened through these first seven weeks. Honestly, it is pretty ugly as most of those Top 60 were simply not worth where you drafted them. So if you feel unlucky this year, join the club. You have more company than you think. However, you are more likely to make the playoffs than you think.
Also, Todd has this week’s Ezekiel Elliott update and speaks openly to you owners who are worried Elliott’s suspension starts next week. Todd owns Elliott, got him at a bargain draft position, and tells you why you should not complain if that happens. The timing isn’t bad for fantasy owners. Again, Todd answers all of your fantasy questions personally at toddwrightfantasyfootball@gmail.com. And if you are a member of a private golf club, Todd makes a nice choice for your next member-guest event and will NEVER be accused of slow play.
